The Clause About The Religion
Christianity
The case which the name of the 12 apostle is given to
* Equipment designated with the names of the 12 Apostles and the Lord
The Zohar Emulators, which the Kukai Foundation maintains, are being stored inside the Durandal's isolation hangar. There are 13 storage cases in that isolation hangar, and a name has been engraved on each: Peter, Andrew, Boanerges, Thomas, John, Philip, Matthew, Bartholomew, James, Thaddaeus, Simon, Judas, and finally 'Marienkind' (meaning 'child of Mary', namely, Jesus Christ). It is difficult to consider that these names were assigned as a mere hobby from within the Kukai Foundation. This is because Jr and Gaignun and the others are not fanatical Christians, and conversely even if they were, they are not names that would be used from the hobby. If there weren’t a connection with the Zohar, then there would be no motive for these names to be used.
The Zohar Emulators are being stored in the cases on which the names of these 12 Apostles were affixed; and perhaps the storage shell that was named 'Marienkind' is something that was meant to house the Original Zohar.
* The Cross
In the U-TIC Organization's military base, Pleroma, there is a Cross, which indicates that this is a place involved in Christianity. Also, it is confirmed that both of the U-TIC organization's officers, Commander Margulis and Vice-Commander Pellegri, were wearing an accessory of the Cross. And also, it is the same with Nephilim who lives in the imaginary number domain.
It is not thought that those who wear this kind of fashion have chosen foolish behavior.
* The current state of Christianity
As for present times, not even a single relevance between the current state of Christianity and the Zohar is being brought to light. But still, because of the afore-mentioned situation, the possibility that there is that kind of connection cannot be denied. Also, it is the same with the connection between the U-TIC Organization and Christianity.
One thing to be said for certain: the more that Christianity is referred to as an ancient religion, the less of it has survived intact.
{That last sentence is paraphrased, and I'm worried I might have understood it wrong. If someone else could double-check, that would be awesome.}

Buddhism
The restoration of the custom of the ancient religion
* Ancient religion
Evidenced by the subject of the telephone call between Shion and her brother Jin, is can be understood that Buddhism has changed into an ancient religion. Jin spoke the word, "houji" {~"memorial"}, and Shion responded by calling it a "revival of an ancient religion's custom."
A "houji" is something from Buddhism where an anniversary memorial service for the dead is performed. It was a popular practice that was held every 7 days during the first 49 days, and then after that, on each anniversary of the death.
Shion was indicating that Jin knew the activities of this kind of religion by means of books, but the grave of their parents was a Buddhist creation. Because Jin's garments are Japanese clothes, and because he assumed a posture in which he joined his hands in front of the tombstone, it is considered that not everything of the ancient religion of Buddhism has been forgotten.
* "Namu Amida Butsu" {~"Mano Amitabha", ~"Blessed Buddha"}
Both Tony and Hammer of the crew of the Elsa exhibit a Buddhist influence. When they fell into a critical situation, and also when they witnessed something that may have been a departed spirit, they spontaneously acted by putting their hands together as if praying to Buddha.
It has also been confirmed that [Tony] spoke aloud the words, "nan-man-dabu."
This phrase, "nan-man-dabu", is a speech-accent of "Namu Amida Butsu". "Namu Amida Butsu", which has the meaning "devotion to Amitabha", uses Japanese kanji characters that are phonetically equivalent substitute characters of the phrase from the original Sanskrit language. In that Sanskrit language, it holds a deeper meaning akin to, "I follow the light of the shimmering Vast-Limitlessness," and when spoken, it can be explained that they are words that mean "I lend my ear to the teaching of Buddha, and I abide by it".
Thus, due to the fact that there remains words which establish a completely Buddhist thought, what rises to the surface is a current state in which Buddhism, even though it is an ancient religion, has not been severed from memory. In other words, is Shion illiterate and ignorant concerning religion, or is she just indifferent? It is perhaps natural to consider that she makes use of the expression "ancient religion" to her brother Jin for some other reason.
Ultimately, in present day, Buddhism has also taken root among people, the same as Christianity.
God as a General Idea What is God?
As for the faith, the object of worship is asked for
* God as the general idea of a transcendental existence
In faith, an object of worship is sought out and a general concept worthy of worship is created. Power is given by the thing that one requests to and is raised by those who worship. That the concept of God is one that becomes something absolute, sacred and transcendental is because the hearts of the people who worship it are seeking out that kind of existence.
Depending on the age and area, there have existed very human-like gods. For example, in the original Greek myths, even while existing as an existence separate from humans and possessing tremendous physical clout, the gods' actions were just like those of humans and even the idea of half-breeds between the gods and humans was conceived. For this age and area of land, this kind of god was ideal as an object of worship.
In another age and another land there was a faith called animism in which it was thought that a soul resided in all things in the world of nature and all things created artificially. This is not the idea that there is a single absolute existence that controls everything, but rather it is the construction of a whole system of the relationships of various affairs in which by creating relations that have gained harmony in each individual the harmony of the whole is preserved. In addition, each person depending on both the time and the necessity will worship the image that they feel to be closest to themselves. Furthermore, in the case of the creation of an absolute single entity, everything is devoted to it and the idea to wish for a simplified, firm ideology and community consciousness is born. Based on that, an absolute god existence that is stronger than anything, surpasses everything, and is more just than anything was born. This kind of self-righteous existence produces an imperialism of thought and an antagonistic relationship with many other gods and is the origin that gave rise to riots.
* Peace and God
In order to acquire peace of the heart, the existence of God was sought out. This does not always signify a peace with a useful meaning. It is not a repudiation of conflict. That is the tranquility of the heart that occurs in the confrontation with the world for the believers. When one thinks of the state after death, one feels an unbearable uneasiness at the thought of the end where the self goes that people do not know of. In contrast to a life of only turning toward that uneasiness and getting closer to it, one embraces nothingness (close to word for nihilism) and despair. In order to give meaning and significance to this meaningless, dark life, an existence of light that shines on our lives becomes necessary. That is a thought that is the general concept of God. By being illuminated with that light meaning is born into life and one can run from the nothingness and despair. Death is given meaning and accepting it is no longer nihilistic. This gives birth to the tranquility of the heart.
Consequently, in order to protect this tranquility of the heart, it becomes possible to conduct a war without fearing death. Sacrificing one's life in order to protect the existence that grants one the tranquility of the heart becomes a magnificent act. In an unstable life without meaning it is proper to accept a death with meaning. To someone who believes in a single, absolute existence, accepting other gods is unforgivable. If one is a person who knows religion as the metaphor of confrontation between the world and oneself, one realizes that this confrontation is only the difference of individual tastes but if one hopes to take the metaphor as reality one cannot recognize this difference. This is because if one recognizes it, the world one believes in will crumble.
* God as Creator
An existence in the position of creation understands all of its creations. Just as the original developer of KOS-MOS knows KOS-MOS' functions. Just as only Vector Industries, which has monopolized the production of the central device of realians, knows about the inside of the blackbox. In the relationship between the one who creates and the one who is created, a complete master and servant relationship is born.
In the change from the age when the story-like world view that the human body was created by God was common sense to the age when it was explained that it was created by genetics, the words that spoke of God have been translated to the words that speak of genetics. A body that is molded by God turned into a body that is molded by genetics. The fate that God gave us became the primary factor of inherited genes and the probability of its manifestation. The action of healing an illness by praying to God changed to gene therapy. Giving birth for the sake of maintaining a cooperative body that would praise God became an animal-like action for the sake of continuing the genes.
* One who knows everything
Power/authority is born from information. When information runs dry, power is lost. Power is maintained by obtaining information. It has become clear that information regulation is the essential job that supports the basis of authority for most organizations trying to establish a nation.
With that meaning, the general concept of a God that grasps the entire world becomes an existence that possesses absolute authority. This means that there is nothing it does not know and nothing else can be allowed to access that knowledge.
This sacred existence supports God's absolute authority. Upon entering the age in which God and genes were talked about as analogous concepts, naturally ideology trying to protect that authority against genes was born.
This came to be expressed in the words "that is God's domain." This surely has the meaning that genes are standing in the position of God. It is bringing out the concept of God and accepting handling God and genes on the same level. Their expression aimed to recognize the existence of God as an absolute thing and moreover withdraw the value of genes. However, in the first place, to the person thinking in the position of the characters that appeared in the story of God, it was taken as an expression withdrawing the concept of God toward an existence that can apply the physical treatment called genes (I don't understand this sentence).
The aims of both sides disagreed with each other and, while using the same words, these words that they fired from completely different standpoints did not reach each others hearts following parallel lines, and thus the lack of understanding and ignoring continued; despite it one continued to believe in one's own correctness, deny the other side and it became aggressive, developing into terrorism. Humans are all a childish existence. They are a decisive, self-righteous, stupid existence.
In order to guide this kind of existence, while paradoxical, the existence of God is necessary. That which guides. That is one who can gaze at the future. Just as it has been necessary for various gods to be born from the unease people feel from the future, if there exists someone who can erase the unease of the future, the people obey that person. In addition, by being regulated by only one existence, the people compose one conclusion and become self-righteous or it will bring about a totalitarian, profitable peace. Whether or not that is happiness is a separate issue.

The Clause About The Zohar
Zohar Emulator
Kookai is successful in securing of twelve emulators
* The Necessaries of the Emulators
Dr. Joachim Mizrahi studied the Original Zohar, and because of that, the development of the Emulators was successful. The inner workings of the Zohar Emulators are also a great mystery, as experiments in using them have been excessively dangerous. That danger is that just like the Original Zohar caused things to disappear, the Emulators could also cause such dangerous phenomenon.
* Development of the Emulators
It was later recognized that in order to construct the emulators, a great amount of time, expense, and technological breakthrough is required. Because the genius of Dr. Joachim Mizrahi has been lost, construction of an Emulator is now impossible. The Emulator's surface was made to imitate the function of the Zohar, and not to surpass it. However, for that reason, they also possessed sufficient ability to cause Local Matter Shift. The artifice used to construct the Emulators disappeared upon the death of Doctor Joachim Mizrahi. Therefore, using surplus parts, a 13th Emulator was constructed by Hyams Heavy Industries, according to inside intelligence. But upon completion, it was considered to be inferior to the other 12.
* Struggle Over the Emulators
The fact that objects exist, that have the power to cause Local Matter Shift, is a crisis to the people. However, the desire of people to make use of and experiment with the emulators, was the main driving force that caused the struggle over them to unfold. [THE ABOVE IS SKETCHY. I fudged this, because one of the kanji was just too blurred for me to discern. It's probably something along these lines, but it *certainly* lost something important here.] Currently, the Kukai Foundation has succeeded in securing the 12 proper Emulators. Inside the federation government, there is a great deal of skepticism and doubt regarding the Kukai Foundation's monopoly over the Zohar Emulators. However, it seems opinions are often agitated by a U-TIC member within the federation government, and because of this, things become very muddled when this situation is considered.
The Clause About The Project Zohar
Project Zohar
The plan of mankind maximum that the government promotes
* The Purpose of the Plan
The plan for the maximization of mankind promoted by the Galaxy Federation Government is called "Project Zohar."
That plan was also the reason for the establishment of the U-TIC Organization. According to the Galaxy Federation Government, the intention for having established the U-TIC organization, which was the parent company of the Mizrahi Neuro-Science Institute, was for the implementation of Project Zohar, which had the purpose "to search for the true nature of everything," and "to detect and to attain Lost Jerusalem."
At that time, due to the investigation of whatever kind of thing that is the existence called Zohar, acting as something that can logically explain all phenomena of this world, the purpose was for the investigation of the true nature of the world. This can be said to be an extremely scientific purpose. But also, the purpose of finding and reaching Lost Jerusalem is said to be the dearest wish of mankind.
But, during the implementation of that plan, the promotion of the Project was visited by situations that became problematic: the Miltian conflict occurred, U-TIC became an armament organization, Professor Joachim Mizrahi died, the Gnosis appeared, and Old Miltia along with the Original Zohar was sealed within the double blackhole called the Abyss, etc.
Based on these situations, although a little is remaining from initial intentions, the purpose of the current Project Zohar had come to change.
First of all, after the Miltian Conflict, the implementation of Project Zohar was inherited from U-TIC by the Contact Subcommittee (S.o.C.E). Although the main duty of the Contact Subcommittee is taking care of Gnosis anti-measures, presently the relevance between Project Zohar and the Gnosis is being stressed, and so it is considered necessary to simultaneously deal with both of these problems. When Project Zohar was first established, its relevance to the Gnosis was not as critical a situation as it is currently. This point was the first big change.
The next point yielded a new purpose: the recovery of the Original Zohar. Originally, Project Zohar was the plan that was built to be the situation for which the Original Zohar was to be maintained. Consequently, at the present time, it is only said to be in the preparation stage for the sake of once again erecting that "start-line". This state which resulted from the Miltian Conflict was the worst influence that confronted the plan.
The remnant of this second point was also a big change, and therefore, as Project Zohar was making very slow progress, it is considered that an opportunity was arising at this time for U-TIC intervention.
Also, if it was because of U-TIC that there was this very situation where the Original Zohar was not being maintained by the Federation Government, it can be easily guessed that it may have been thought to be the perfect chance to usurp the Zohar for the sake of its original purpose.
* The Information which becomes the Key
The urgent purpose of Project Zohar is the recovery of the Original Zohar. For that reason, the business of reaching Old Miltia, which had been sealed in the double blackhole, was put on high priority.
There is no way to reach Old Miltia except to gate-jump by hyperspace flight through a UMN transference column. However, the coordinates for the UMN transference column of the sealed-away Old Miltia had been completely lost.
This very information that documented these coordinates is something called the "Y-data".
Therefore, the Galaxy Federation Government and the U-TIC Organization, between which unfolded a struggle for the Original Zohar, had come around to the point of disputing over the Y-data.
For both camps, the attaining of that place-- Old Miltia, the ground in which the Original Zohar sleeps-- becomes something which opens the first door relating to the upheld purpose of each side.
* Project Zohar and the Zohar Emulators
In what way may the Zohar Emulators, which are maintained by the Kukai Foundation, be related to Project Zohar?
A Zohar Emulator is an existence that holds the function of being a matter shift generator. The ill-effect caused by the matter shift phenomenon is the negative influence of the promotion of the plan due to an unforeseen incident that is said to have been a transformation of state, both sudden and large-scale.
The U-TIC Organization carried out a start-up experiment using an Emulator as a substitute for the Original Zohar which was being sealed away. It is unknown whatever the design of the experiment was, but what resulted was that something horrible happened-- the annihilation of a planet.
Due to an unforeseen incident such as this, the government, which fears the influence that comes from the promotion of Project Zohar, is requesting isolation storage of the Emulators by the Kukai Foundation. This was done because, even though they are Emulators, it is impossible to nullify or destroy an existence which maintains the function of being a matter shift generator, and it is considered that the very best plan is nothing but storage.

Y Data
The top-secret data blockaded in MOMO's deep area
* Valuable Data
The data that was left behind by Professor Joachim Mizrahi, called the "Y-data", is the highly-classified data that is being sealed within the deep domain of the 100-series Observational Realian Prototype MOMO.
Though the details of the information contained in it is unknown, it is evident that what is documented is the release code of the UMN transference column which closed off Old Miltia, which was sealed in a double black hole referred to as the Abyss.
It happens to be essential to unlock the closed-off UMN transference column in order to have access to Old Miltia, which has historically important significance, including being deeply influenced by the existence called U-DO, and being the place where the Original Zohar, which holds the key to Project Zohar, exists. Once the seal is unfastened, when the UMN transference column is able to be activated once again, it becomes possible by using a gate jump to directly access Old Miltia, which had been sealed-off in the double black hole.
The Galaxy Federation Government, for the sake of obtaining the Original Zohar, searches for the Y-data. The URTV Albedo, for the sake of linking with U-DO a second time, searches for the Y-data. Though their objectives are different, both parties are desiring the coordinates for the UMN transference column.
Therefore, Momo, who has the Y-data sealed-off within her, becomes the aim of many various organizations as well as the aim of a private individual. Momo, who was nothing more than the existence called "100-series Observational Realian Prototype", because of the sealed-off data, became an extremely important existence, with direct influence in the fate of the world.
* Protection Trap
There is a protective wall which is accompanied by a visual image that appears in front of the person who decides to decipher the Y-data. That image materializes, becoming KOS-MOS and the figure of Shion of the present. Who is the person who orchestrated that? It can be considered that it was Professor Joachim Mizrahi, or whichever character who was acting as his assistant. However, even if it was whichever of the two of them, because the protection was applied 14 years ago, it cannot be explained why Shion appeared as her grown-up self of the present and not herself of approximately when she was very young. From this, it is considered that an existence or skill that can transcend time and space, as if being able to know Shion's future form at some point in the past, had been intervening, with whatever design, in the aforementioned existence called the Protection Program, which rejects illegal access to the top-secret information.
Albedo, who saw the image of this protection trap, laughed: "I see, so that's what it means." Also, Virgil, who had been restored to being a "cloaked man" after his death, also in the same way, for whatever reason, understood that image. However, the reason for that is unknown.
* The Words of the URTV Albedo
"As for the rest, when Peche links with the UMN, my objective will be fulfilled." These words of Albedo's, what do they mean?
These words were said after having accessed the Y-data that had been sealed-off in Momo's deep domain. But because he had not released the protection in which appeared the images of KOS-MOS and Shion, Albedo did not obtain the release code for Old Miltia's UMN transference column. However, he acquired operations methods, etc, of Proto Merkabah by coming into contact with some information recorded in the Y-data. His words are in addition to that.
Having linked with U-DO on the Miltia of 14 years ago, Albedo's intention is to link once again. To that end, he shall perhaps go to Old Miltia.
By Momo linking with the UMN, his objective, that he says will be fulfilled, is perhaps to reach Old Miltia. In other words, it is considered that the person who wishes to reach Old Miltia, cannot do so unless the linking of Momo with the UMN is accomplished.
* The Words of Wilhelm
Thus forms the hypothesis: by linking with the UMN, and canceling the protection that is conducted within Momo, and activating Old Miltia's UMN transference column, doesn't it perhaps become possible to gate jump by hyperspace navigation? And then, isn't it perhaps that this very thing is seen in Wilhelm's speech: "The door that leads to Abel's Ark will open."
Because the red "cloaked man", who serves at Wilhelm's side, had said "there is the possibility that he may link with U-DO again", it is considered a possibility that U-DO is existing ahead of "the door that leads to Abel's Ark". Otherwise, it is considered that those words mean that after Albedo achieves a link with U-DO, a "new phenomenon" may make an appearance.

Lost Jerusalem
It means "a main star" as mankind's foothold
* The significance of this place
Presently, the suffix "Jerusalem" is a designation for planets which are considered "outposts for mankind," with "Fifth Jerusalem" being humanity's current home world, indicated by the Galactic Federation Government's central orbital tower stationed there.
With that taken into account, "Lost Jerusalem" would mean "lost outpost," or "lost world." And, this being the birthplace of mankind from which abandoning became unavoidable due to the onset of the phenomenon alteration "domain shift (strange attractor)" which it was subjected to thousands of years ago, it is also something that means "Earth".
* Returning Home
The single, final purpose of Project Zohar is considered to be the recovery of Earth which was lost. For the sake of reclaiming Earth which was lost due to the local phenomenon alteration function of the Zohar, it is necessary to bring the function of the Zohar to light. Also, if it is possible to bring the function of the Zohar to light, to comprehend the structure of the local phenomenon alteration, it may be possible to reclaim Earth which was lost due to it. The intention such as that is also being contained by Project Zohar.
However, is it perhaps that they are really desiring to return to Earth? (Awkward): Due to the feeling of homesickness for the birthplace that was abandoned thousands of years ago, it is difficult to consider the movement of the grand scheme of the Project. There is a possibility that some useful reason exists in that place.
* People who face Lost Jerusalem
Project Zohar has become a galactic effort, thanks to the promotion of both the people, and the Galactic Federation Government; the people who promote the project are seeking Lost Jerusalem, and it has become clear that the Galactic Federation Government shares this aim. Conversely, the U-TIC organization seems to be entirely preoccupied with the recovery of the Original Zohar currently bound in Old Miltia. It is assumed that U-TIC intends to provide supervision for Zohar but it is unknown if it also seek Lost Jerusalem. Albedo, a U.R.T.V., is destined to connect with U-DO which is also sealed in Old Miltia; Albedo is not entirely adherent to the search for Lost Jerusalem.
Consequently, the U-TIC Organization and Albedo both seek the way to Old Miltia, and although their ultimate purposes differ, they can be bound together in co-operation. The Galaxy Federation Government and the U-TIC Organization also have differing purposes and become antagonistic because they quarrel over the acquisition of the Original Zohar.
* Situation before becoming Lost
Essentially, Earth was lost soon after Zohar was discovered in the ruins of Lake Turkana, Kenya.
After the excavation, Zohar was moved to an undisclosed research facility whose address, sadly, was never recorded. Analysis of Zohar began but not soon after, researchers regularly started disappearing, leaving absolutely no trace. This had all been brought about by a researcher who had actually touched Zohar itself-afterward, people within the research lab gradually vanished, followed by people working just outside of the lab, and then people in nearby suburbs.
The effect continued to cascade until, finally, it had made itself pronounced all about the face of the Earth; the disappearance phenomenon had continued to spread until all but a lucky few remained. These few had been forced to flee Earth in order to avoid the fates of those who had not.
So, what became of those who disappeared? There is a theory as to their fates but it goes without any verifiable proof. Basically, this theory makes the claim that those who came into contact with the phenomenon were metastasized into the domain of 'imaginary numbers.'
In order to reach Lost Jerusalem, the full breadth of Zohar's functions must be clarified and in order to understand the functions of Zohar, one must reverse engineer it; such is Project Zohar.

U-DO
The wave motion existence blockaded in old Miltia
* Wave Motion Existence
The wave motion existence sealed on old Miltia. Although it is talked about as though it were a discarnate entity, its true identity is the Zohar controlling system that serves as the core of the UMN and has the name "Unus Mundus Drive Operation".
However, 14 years ago it went out of control, driving the U.R.T.V.s insane and victimizing many people, and invited enough chaos to drop old Miltia itself into 2 black holes. It was the Original Zohar that directly caused old Miltia to drop into the 2 black holes, but it was U-DO that drew the people unto madness.
* U-DO and U.R.T.V.
U.R.T.V. are existences that possess various abilities that are grasping for immortality and because of these powers they are defined as the anti-existence to U-DO.
The U.R.T.V. and U-DO are defined as entities with contrary abilities. That is to say that U-DO is an existence defined by the power of death.
The U.R.T.V. were created as anti-existences to U-DO about a decade before it lost control in the incident that occurred 14 years ago. In other words, U-DO, which was supposed to be the UMN operation system, did not come to possess the power of the death wave because of the aforementioned incident, but instead had possessed the power of the death wave since before the incident.
* Vision of the Future
The vision of the future that Nephilim showed Shion and the others was the collision between the glowing light of U-DO wrapped around a planet and the wave that KOS-MOS had fired. The impact had the destructive effect of demolishing a great number of stars.
What is the wave released from the completed KOS-MOS in this vision of the future? Wasn't the force to oppose U-DO the U.R.T.V.? Is it (KOS-MOSEwave) the same kind of thing as the shining wave released from Jr. and Albedo's bodies?
In regards to U-DO and this defined vision of the future, there is simply not enough information, making it difficult to grasp precisely what this existence is.

The Miltia War (Miltian Conflict)
Due to the reckless running of REALIAN and U.R.T.V.
* Abyss
The area of space that surrounds Miltia has been sealed by two black holes for many light years. People refer to this state with the expression "fell into the abyss." The incident that caused it to be sealed off like this was the Miltian Conflict that occurred 14 years ago.
* The Circumstances of the Conflict
A number of causes piled up and developed historically into a giant incident. The realians went on a rampage due to the "song" that was emitted from the Song of Nephilim Apparatus. A bloody tragedy unfolded around the Serious Nervous Disorder Hospital where the Song Production Apparatus was established. Furthermore, Jr. closed his heart out of fear of U-DO's running out of control and cut the mental link with the other U.R.T.V.s. Because of this the channel that connected the U.R.T.V.s together was opened and left defenseless and due to that they became able to be tainted by U-DO. The rampages of the realians and the U.R.T.V.s turned old Miltia into a battleground. The Galaxy Federation sent in the army to begin the subjugation of the realians and U.R.T.V.s.
The person who was commanding the Galaxy Federation Army is the person who has currently seized the real power in the Second Miltian government, Helmer. He rescued Jr. and Gaignun who had been seriously injured in the Conflict and after that he was also the person who entrusted the Kukai Foundation to Jr. and Gaignun. At the end of the Conflict, the Original Zohar went out of control. The Miltian area of space sunk into the abyss. The Miltian Conflict was a huge incident in history that many people were dragged into as a result of the rampages of three things: The Song of Nephilim, U-DO and the Original Zohar.
* Escapees
Before it sank into the abyss, the people living on old Miltia scrambled to escape. Only the people who decided to stay no matter what resolved to stay on old Miltia. The people who stayed behind all fell into the abyss and disappeared. Those who escaped were transferred to Second Miltia and fostered a culture there with it as a new hometown.

The Clause About The Connection
Jr and MOMO
She fell in love to him
* The power of outward appearances
Jr is performing growth suppression by means of his own URTV ability, and so he maintains a 12-year-old body. However, his inner self is something on the order of 26-years-old. This is guessed because 14 years ago, the other URTVs each had bodies that were roughly 12-years-old, and so the assumption is that the URTVS' year of manufacture was 26 years ago. Momo was produced 14 years ago, but because she is a Realian that does not age, she has an outward appearance that is roughly 12-years-old.
They are both existences where age cannot be guessed from their outward appearances. However, the influence that outward appearance gives to others is great. Long ago, a subject of study existed, called "physiognomy". It is the study that tries to comprehend the inner-person based on facial features. Nowadays, this is said to not have an objective basis, but it does not change the fact that the human heart reacts according to the image. There is data that states when a person speaks to a baby, their voice raises 1~2 octaves. This is a phenomenon that is generated from the cooperation of two primary factors: that a baby's face arouses a desire to protect in the person who sees it, and that a baby prefers a higher tone.
People like Jr and Momo, who possess bodies that are very young, therefore give to those around them a sense of helplessness. If action is not taken to overturn it, they prolong that impression. Conversely, if they succeed in behavior that overturns it, because it is such an extreme reversal of the image, their actions can leave an even stronger impression.
* The sense of being the same generation from outward appearances
That Jr harbors a desire to protect Momo, and that Momo harbors a sense of being the same generation towards Jr, are both impressions due to outward appearance. On the exterior, it is seen as a man-woman relationship of a same generation, but the true nature is vastly different.
{iffy}: Based on that such reality, it is considered to be the reason that Jr is concerned about Momo, and the reason that Albedo gets enraged towards being able to touch Momo, and that is also considered why the reason, which is not just a mere personal thought, is being kept hidden.
It is the Miltian conflict of 14 years ago in the past that greatly influenced Jr's current behavior. Jr's attitude towards Momo is considered to be deeply connected to this past as well. But the details are unknown.

Christianity
The case which the name of the 12 apostle is given to
* Equipment designated with the names of the 12 Apostles and the Lord
The Zohar Emulators, which the Kukai Foundation maintains, are being stored inside the Durandal's isolation hangar. There are 13 storage cases in that isolation hangar, and a name has been engraved on each: Peter, Andrew, Boanerges, Thomas, John, Philip, Matthew, Bartholomew, James, Thaddaeus, Simon, Judas, and finally 'Marienkind' (meaning 'child of Mary', namely, Jesus Christ). It is difficult to consider that these names were assigned as a mere hobby from within the Kukai Foundation. This is because Jr and Gaignun and the others are not fanatical Christians, and conversely even if they were, they are not names that would be used from the hobby. If there weren’t a connection with the Zohar, then there would be no motive for these names to be used.
The Zohar Emulators are being stored in the cases on which the names of these 12 Apostles were affixed; and perhaps the storage shell that was named 'Marienkind' is something that was meant to house the Original Zohar.
* The Cross
In the U-TIC Organization's military base, Pleroma, there is a Cross, which indicates that this is a place involved in Christianity. Also, it is confirmed that both of the U-TIC organization's officers, Commander Margulis and Vice-Commander Pellegri, were wearing an accessory of the Cross. And also, it is the same with Nephilim who lives in the imaginary number domain.
It is not thought that those who wear this kind of fashion have chosen foolish behavior.
* The current state of Christianity
As for present times, not even a single relevance between the current state of Christianity and the Zohar is being brought to light. But still, because of the afore-mentioned situation, the possibility that there is that kind of connection cannot be denied. Also, it is the same with the connection between the U-TIC Organization and Christianity.
One thing to be said for certain: the more that Christianity is referred to as an ancient religion, the less of it has survived intact.
{That last sentence is paraphrased, and I'm worried I might have understood it wrong. If someone else could double-check, that would be awesome.}

Buddhism
The restoration of the custom of the ancient religion
* Ancient religion
Evidenced by the subject of the telephone call between Shion and her brother Jin, is can be understood that Buddhism has changed into an ancient religion. Jin spoke the word, "houji" {~"memorial"}, and Shion responded by calling it a "revival of an ancient religion's custom."
A "houji" is something from Buddhism where an anniversary memorial service for the dead is performed. It was a popular practice that was held every 7 days during the first 49 days, and then after that, on each anniversary of the death.
Shion was indicating that Jin knew the activities of this kind of religion by means of books, but the grave of their parents was a Buddhist creation. Because Jin's garments are Japanese clothes, and because he assumed a posture in which he joined his hands in front of the tombstone, it is considered that not everything of the ancient religion of Buddhism has been forgotten.
* "Namu Amida Butsu" {~"Mano Amitabha", ~"Blessed Buddha"}
Both Tony and Hammer of the crew of the Elsa exhibit a Buddhist influence. When they fell into a critical situation, and also when they witnessed something that may have been a departed spirit, they spontaneously acted by putting their hands together as if praying to Buddha.
It has also been confirmed that [Tony] spoke aloud the words, "nan-man-dabu."
This phrase, "nan-man-dabu", is a speech-accent of "Namu Amida Butsu". "Namu Amida Butsu", which has the meaning "devotion to Amitabha", uses Japanese kanji characters that are phonetically equivalent substitute characters of the phrase from the original Sanskrit language. In that Sanskrit language, it holds a deeper meaning akin to, "I follow the light of the shimmering Vast-Limitlessness," and when spoken, it can be explained that they are words that mean "I lend my ear to the teaching of Buddha, and I abide by it".
Thus, due to the fact that there remains words which establish a completely Buddhist thought, what rises to the surface is a current state in which Buddhism, even though it is an ancient religion, has not been severed from memory. In other words, is Shion illiterate and ignorant concerning religion, or is she just indifferent? It is perhaps natural to consider that she makes use of the expression "ancient religion" to her brother Jin for some other reason.
Ultimately, in present day, Buddhism has also taken root among people, the same as Christianity.
God as a General Idea What is God?
As for the faith, the object of worship is asked for
* God as the general idea of a transcendental existence
In faith, an object of worship is sought out and a general concept worthy of worship is created. Power is given by the thing that one requests to and is raised by those who worship. That the concept of God is one that becomes something absolute, sacred and transcendental is because the hearts of the people who worship it are seeking out that kind of existence.
Depending on the age and area, there have existed very human-like gods. For example, in the original Greek myths, even while existing as an existence separate from humans and possessing tremendous physical clout, the gods' actions were just like those of humans and even the idea of half-breeds between the gods and humans was conceived. For this age and area of land, this kind of god was ideal as an object of worship.
In another age and another land there was a faith called animism in which it was thought that a soul resided in all things in the world of nature and all things created artificially. This is not the idea that there is a single absolute existence that controls everything, but rather it is the construction of a whole system of the relationships of various affairs in which by creating relations that have gained harmony in each individual the harmony of the whole is preserved. In addition, each person depending on both the time and the necessity will worship the image that they feel to be closest to themselves. Furthermore, in the case of the creation of an absolute single entity, everything is devoted to it and the idea to wish for a simplified, firm ideology and community consciousness is born. Based on that, an absolute god existence that is stronger than anything, surpasses everything, and is more just than anything was born. This kind of self-righteous existence produces an imperialism of thought and an antagonistic relationship with many other gods and is the origin that gave rise to riots.
* Peace and God
In order to acquire peace of the heart, the existence of God was sought out. This does not always signify a peace with a useful meaning. It is not a repudiation of conflict. That is the tranquility of the heart that occurs in the confrontation with the world for the believers. When one thinks of the state after death, one feels an unbearable uneasiness at the thought of the end where the self goes that people do not know of. In contrast to a life of only turning toward that uneasiness and getting closer to it, one embraces nothingness (close to word for nihilism) and despair. In order to give meaning and significance to this meaningless, dark life, an existence of light that shines on our lives becomes necessary. That is a thought that is the general concept of God. By being illuminated with that light meaning is born into life and one can run from the nothingness and despair. Death is given meaning and accepting it is no longer nihilistic. This gives birth to the tranquility of the heart.
Consequently, in order to protect this tranquility of the heart, it becomes possible to conduct a war without fearing death. Sacrificing one's life in order to protect the existence that grants one the tranquility of the heart becomes a magnificent act. In an unstable life without meaning it is proper to accept a death with meaning. To someone who believes in a single, absolute existence, accepting other gods is unforgivable. If one is a person who knows religion as the metaphor of confrontation between the world and oneself, one realizes that this confrontation is only the difference of individual tastes but if one hopes to take the metaphor as reality one cannot recognize this difference. This is because if one recognizes it, the world one believes in will crumble.
* God as Creator
An existence in the position of creation understands all of its creations. Just as the original developer of KOS-MOS knows KOS-MOS' functions. Just as only Vector Industries, which has monopolized the production of the central device of realians, knows about the inside of the blackbox. In the relationship between the one who creates and the one who is created, a complete master and servant relationship is born.
In the change from the age when the story-like world view that the human body was created by God was common sense to the age when it was explained that it was created by genetics, the words that spoke of God have been translated to the words that speak of genetics. A body that is molded by God turned into a body that is molded by genetics. The fate that God gave us became the primary factor of inherited genes and the probability of its manifestation. The action of healing an illness by praying to God changed to gene therapy. Giving birth for the sake of maintaining a cooperative body that would praise God became an animal-like action for the sake of continuing the genes.
* One who knows everything
Power/authority is born from information. When information runs dry, power is lost. Power is maintained by obtaining information. It has become clear that information regulation is the essential job that supports the basis of authority for most organizations trying to establish a nation.
With that meaning, the general concept of a God that grasps the entire world becomes an existence that possesses absolute authority. This means that there is nothing it does not know and nothing else can be allowed to access that knowledge.
This sacred existence supports God's absolute authority. Upon entering the age in which God and genes were talked about as analogous concepts, naturally ideology trying to protect that authority against genes was born.
This came to be expressed in the words "that is God's domain." This surely has the meaning that genes are standing in the position of God. It is bringing out the concept of God and accepting handling God and genes on the same level. Their expression aimed to recognize the existence of God as an absolute thing and moreover withdraw the value of genes. However, in the first place, to the person thinking in the position of the characters that appeared in the story of God, it was taken as an expression withdrawing the concept of God toward an existence that can apply the physical treatment called genes (I don't understand this sentence).
The aims of both sides disagreed with each other and, while using the same words, these words that they fired from completely different standpoints did not reach each others hearts following parallel lines, and thus the lack of understanding and ignoring continued; despite it one continued to believe in one's own correctness, deny the other side and it became aggressive, developing into terrorism. Humans are all a childish existence. They are a decisive, self-righteous, stupid existence.
In order to guide this kind of existence, while paradoxical, the existence of God is necessary. That which guides. That is one who can gaze at the future. Just as it has been necessary for various gods to be born from the unease people feel from the future, if there exists someone who can erase the unease of the future, the people obey that person. In addition, by being regulated by only one existence, the people compose one conclusion and become self-righteous or it will bring about a totalitarian, profitable peace. Whether or not that is happiness is a separate issue.

The Clause About The Zohar
Zohar Emulator
Kookai is successful in securing of twelve emulators
* The Necessaries of the Emulators
Dr. Joachim Mizrahi studied the Original Zohar, and because of that, the development of the Emulators was successful. The inner workings of the Zohar Emulators are also a great mystery, as experiments in using them have been excessively dangerous. That danger is that just like the Original Zohar caused things to disappear, the Emulators could also cause such dangerous phenomenon.
* Development of the Emulators
It was later recognized that in order to construct the emulators, a great amount of time, expense, and technological breakthrough is required. Because the genius of Dr. Joachim Mizrahi has been lost, construction of an Emulator is now impossible. The Emulator's surface was made to imitate the function of the Zohar, and not to surpass it. However, for that reason, they also possessed sufficient ability to cause Local Matter Shift. The artifice used to construct the Emulators disappeared upon the death of Doctor Joachim Mizrahi. Therefore, using surplus parts, a 13th Emulator was constructed by Hyams Heavy Industries, according to inside intelligence. But upon completion, it was considered to be inferior to the other 12.
* Struggle Over the Emulators
The fact that objects exist, that have the power to cause Local Matter Shift, is a crisis to the people. However, the desire of people to make use of and experiment with the emulators, was the main driving force that caused the struggle over them to unfold. [THE ABOVE IS SKETCHY. I fudged this, because one of the kanji was just too blurred for me to discern. It's probably something along these lines, but it *certainly* lost something important here.] Currently, the Kukai Foundation has succeeded in securing the 12 proper Emulators. Inside the federation government, there is a great deal of skepticism and doubt regarding the Kukai Foundation's monopoly over the Zohar Emulators. However, it seems opinions are often agitated by a U-TIC member within the federation government, and because of this, things become very muddled when this situation is considered.
The Clause About The Project Zohar
Project Zohar
The plan of mankind maximum that the government promotes
* The Purpose of the Plan
The plan for the maximization of mankind promoted by the Galaxy Federation Government is called "Project Zohar."
That plan was also the reason for the establishment of the U-TIC Organization. According to the Galaxy Federation Government, the intention for having established the U-TIC organization, which was the parent company of the Mizrahi Neuro-Science Institute, was for the implementation of Project Zohar, which had the purpose "to search for the true nature of everything," and "to detect and to attain Lost Jerusalem."
At that time, due to the investigation of whatever kind of thing that is the existence called Zohar, acting as something that can logically explain all phenomena of this world, the purpose was for the investigation of the true nature of the world. This can be said to be an extremely scientific purpose. But also, the purpose of finding and reaching Lost Jerusalem is said to be the dearest wish of mankind.
But, during the implementation of that plan, the promotion of the Project was visited by situations that became problematic: the Miltian conflict occurred, U-TIC became an armament organization, Professor Joachim Mizrahi died, the Gnosis appeared, and Old Miltia along with the Original Zohar was sealed within the double blackhole called the Abyss, etc.
Based on these situations, although a little is remaining from initial intentions, the purpose of the current Project Zohar had come to change.
First of all, after the Miltian Conflict, the implementation of Project Zohar was inherited from U-TIC by the Contact Subcommittee (S.o.C.E). Although the main duty of the Contact Subcommittee is taking care of Gnosis anti-measures, presently the relevance between Project Zohar and the Gnosis is being stressed, and so it is considered necessary to simultaneously deal with both of these problems. When Project Zohar was first established, its relevance to the Gnosis was not as critical a situation as it is currently. This point was the first big change.
The next point yielded a new purpose: the recovery of the Original Zohar. Originally, Project Zohar was the plan that was built to be the situation for which the Original Zohar was to be maintained. Consequently, at the present time, it is only said to be in the preparation stage for the sake of once again erecting that "start-line". This state which resulted from the Miltian Conflict was the worst influence that confronted the plan.
The remnant of this second point was also a big change, and therefore, as Project Zohar was making very slow progress, it is considered that an opportunity was arising at this time for U-TIC intervention.
Also, if it was because of U-TIC that there was this very situation where the Original Zohar was not being maintained by the Federation Government, it can be easily guessed that it may have been thought to be the perfect chance to usurp the Zohar for the sake of its original purpose.
* The Information which becomes the Key
The urgent purpose of Project Zohar is the recovery of the Original Zohar. For that reason, the business of reaching Old Miltia, which had been sealed in the double blackhole, was put on high priority.
There is no way to reach Old Miltia except to gate-jump by hyperspace flight through a UMN transference column. However, the coordinates for the UMN transference column of the sealed-away Old Miltia had been completely lost.
This very information that documented these coordinates is something called the "Y-data".
Therefore, the Galaxy Federation Government and the U-TIC Organization, between which unfolded a struggle for the Original Zohar, had come around to the point of disputing over the Y-data.
For both camps, the attaining of that place-- Old Miltia, the ground in which the Original Zohar sleeps-- becomes something which opens the first door relating to the upheld purpose of each side.
* Project Zohar and the Zohar Emulators
In what way may the Zohar Emulators, which are maintained by the Kukai Foundation, be related to Project Zohar?
A Zohar Emulator is an existence that holds the function of being a matter shift generator. The ill-effect caused by the matter shift phenomenon is the negative influence of the promotion of the plan due to an unforeseen incident that is said to have been a transformation of state, both sudden and large-scale.
The U-TIC Organization carried out a start-up experiment using an Emulator as a substitute for the Original Zohar which was being sealed away. It is unknown whatever the design of the experiment was, but what resulted was that something horrible happened-- the annihilation of a planet.
Due to an unforeseen incident such as this, the government, which fears the influence that comes from the promotion of Project Zohar, is requesting isolation storage of the Emulators by the Kukai Foundation. This was done because, even though they are Emulators, it is impossible to nullify or destroy an existence which maintains the function of being a matter shift generator, and it is considered that the very best plan is nothing but storage.

Y Data
The top-secret data blockaded in MOMO's deep area
* Valuable Data
The data that was left behind by Professor Joachim Mizrahi, called the "Y-data", is the highly-classified data that is being sealed within the deep domain of the 100-series Observational Realian Prototype MOMO.
Though the details of the information contained in it is unknown, it is evident that what is documented is the release code of the UMN transference column which closed off Old Miltia, which was sealed in a double black hole referred to as the Abyss.
It happens to be essential to unlock the closed-off UMN transference column in order to have access to Old Miltia, which has historically important significance, including being deeply influenced by the existence called U-DO, and being the place where the Original Zohar, which holds the key to Project Zohar, exists. Once the seal is unfastened, when the UMN transference column is able to be activated once again, it becomes possible by using a gate jump to directly access Old Miltia, which had been sealed-off in the double black hole.
The Galaxy Federation Government, for the sake of obtaining the Original Zohar, searches for the Y-data. The URTV Albedo, for the sake of linking with U-DO a second time, searches for the Y-data. Though their objectives are different, both parties are desiring the coordinates for the UMN transference column.
Therefore, Momo, who has the Y-data sealed-off within her, becomes the aim of many various organizations as well as the aim of a private individual. Momo, who was nothing more than the existence called "100-series Observational Realian Prototype", because of the sealed-off data, became an extremely important existence, with direct influence in the fate of the world.
* Protection Trap
There is a protective wall which is accompanied by a visual image that appears in front of the person who decides to decipher the Y-data. That image materializes, becoming KOS-MOS and the figure of Shion of the present. Who is the person who orchestrated that? It can be considered that it was Professor Joachim Mizrahi, or whichever character who was acting as his assistant. However, even if it was whichever of the two of them, because the protection was applied 14 years ago, it cannot be explained why Shion appeared as her grown-up self of the present and not herself of approximately when she was very young. From this, it is considered that an existence or skill that can transcend time and space, as if being able to know Shion's future form at some point in the past, had been intervening, with whatever design, in the aforementioned existence called the Protection Program, which rejects illegal access to the top-secret information.
Albedo, who saw the image of this protection trap, laughed: "I see, so that's what it means." Also, Virgil, who had been restored to being a "cloaked man" after his death, also in the same way, for whatever reason, understood that image. However, the reason for that is unknown.
* The Words of the URTV Albedo
"As for the rest, when Peche links with the UMN, my objective will be fulfilled." These words of Albedo's, what do they mean?
These words were said after having accessed the Y-data that had been sealed-off in Momo's deep domain. But because he had not released the protection in which appeared the images of KOS-MOS and Shion, Albedo did not obtain the release code for Old Miltia's UMN transference column. However, he acquired operations methods, etc, of Proto Merkabah by coming into contact with some information recorded in the Y-data. His words are in addition to that.
Having linked with U-DO on the Miltia of 14 years ago, Albedo's intention is to link once again. To that end, he shall perhaps go to Old Miltia.
By Momo linking with the UMN, his objective, that he says will be fulfilled, is perhaps to reach Old Miltia. In other words, it is considered that the person who wishes to reach Old Miltia, cannot do so unless the linking of Momo with the UMN is accomplished.
* The Words of Wilhelm
Thus forms the hypothesis: by linking with the UMN, and canceling the protection that is conducted within Momo, and activating Old Miltia's UMN transference column, doesn't it perhaps become possible to gate jump by hyperspace navigation? And then, isn't it perhaps that this very thing is seen in Wilhelm's speech: "The door that leads to Abel's Ark will open."
Because the red "cloaked man", who serves at Wilhelm's side, had said "there is the possibility that he may link with U-DO again", it is considered a possibility that U-DO is existing ahead of "the door that leads to Abel's Ark". Otherwise, it is considered that those words mean that after Albedo achieves a link with U-DO, a "new phenomenon" may make an appearance.

Lost Jerusalem
It means "a main star" as mankind's foothold
* The significance of this place
Presently, the suffix "Jerusalem" is a designation for planets which are considered "outposts for mankind," with "Fifth Jerusalem" being humanity's current home world, indicated by the Galactic Federation Government's central orbital tower stationed there.
With that taken into account, "Lost Jerusalem" would mean "lost outpost," or "lost world." And, this being the birthplace of mankind from which abandoning became unavoidable due to the onset of the phenomenon alteration "domain shift (strange attractor)" which it was subjected to thousands of years ago, it is also something that means "Earth".
* Returning Home
The single, final purpose of Project Zohar is considered to be the recovery of Earth which was lost. For the sake of reclaiming Earth which was lost due to the local phenomenon alteration function of the Zohar, it is necessary to bring the function of the Zohar to light. Also, if it is possible to bring the function of the Zohar to light, to comprehend the structure of the local phenomenon alteration, it may be possible to reclaim Earth which was lost due to it. The intention such as that is also being contained by Project Zohar.
However, is it perhaps that they are really desiring to return to Earth? (Awkward): Due to the feeling of homesickness for the birthplace that was abandoned thousands of years ago, it is difficult to consider the movement of the grand scheme of the Project. There is a possibility that some useful reason exists in that place.
* People who face Lost Jerusalem
Project Zohar has become a galactic effort, thanks to the promotion of both the people, and the Galactic Federation Government; the people who promote the project are seeking Lost Jerusalem, and it has become clear that the Galactic Federation Government shares this aim. Conversely, the U-TIC organization seems to be entirely preoccupied with the recovery of the Original Zohar currently bound in Old Miltia. It is assumed that U-TIC intends to provide supervision for Zohar but it is unknown if it also seek Lost Jerusalem. Albedo, a U.R.T.V., is destined to connect with U-DO which is also sealed in Old Miltia; Albedo is not entirely adherent to the search for Lost Jerusalem.
Consequently, the U-TIC Organization and Albedo both seek the way to Old Miltia, and although their ultimate purposes differ, they can be bound together in co-operation. The Galaxy Federation Government and the U-TIC Organization also have differing purposes and become antagonistic because they quarrel over the acquisition of the Original Zohar.
* Situation before becoming Lost
Essentially, Earth was lost soon after Zohar was discovered in the ruins of Lake Turkana, Kenya.
After the excavation, Zohar was moved to an undisclosed research facility whose address, sadly, was never recorded. Analysis of Zohar began but not soon after, researchers regularly started disappearing, leaving absolutely no trace. This had all been brought about by a researcher who had actually touched Zohar itself-afterward, people within the research lab gradually vanished, followed by people working just outside of the lab, and then people in nearby suburbs.
The effect continued to cascade until, finally, it had made itself pronounced all about the face of the Earth; the disappearance phenomenon had continued to spread until all but a lucky few remained. These few had been forced to flee Earth in order to avoid the fates of those who had not.
So, what became of those who disappeared? There is a theory as to their fates but it goes without any verifiable proof. Basically, this theory makes the claim that those who came into contact with the phenomenon were metastasized into the domain of 'imaginary numbers.'
In order to reach Lost Jerusalem, the full breadth of Zohar's functions must be clarified and in order to understand the functions of Zohar, one must reverse engineer it; such is Project Zohar.

U-DO
The wave motion existence blockaded in old Miltia
* Wave Motion Existence
The wave motion existence sealed on old Miltia. Although it is talked about as though it were a discarnate entity, its true identity is the Zohar controlling system that serves as the core of the UMN and has the name "Unus Mundus Drive Operation".
However, 14 years ago it went out of control, driving the U.R.T.V.s insane and victimizing many people, and invited enough chaos to drop old Miltia itself into 2 black holes. It was the Original Zohar that directly caused old Miltia to drop into the 2 black holes, but it was U-DO that drew the people unto madness.
* U-DO and U.R.T.V.
U.R.T.V. are existences that possess various abilities that are grasping for immortality and because of these powers they are defined as the anti-existence to U-DO.
The U.R.T.V. and U-DO are defined as entities with contrary abilities. That is to say that U-DO is an existence defined by the power of death.
The U.R.T.V. were created as anti-existences to U-DO about a decade before it lost control in the incident that occurred 14 years ago. In other words, U-DO, which was supposed to be the UMN operation system, did not come to possess the power of the death wave because of the aforementioned incident, but instead had possessed the power of the death wave since before the incident.
* Vision of the Future
The vision of the future that Nephilim showed Shion and the others was the collision between the glowing light of U-DO wrapped around a planet and the wave that KOS-MOS had fired. The impact had the destructive effect of demolishing a great number of stars.
What is the wave released from the completed KOS-MOS in this vision of the future? Wasn't the force to oppose U-DO the U.R.T.V.? Is it (KOS-MOSEwave) the same kind of thing as the shining wave released from Jr. and Albedo's bodies?
In regards to U-DO and this defined vision of the future, there is simply not enough information, making it difficult to grasp precisely what this existence is.

The Miltia War (Miltian Conflict)
Due to the reckless running of REALIAN and U.R.T.V.
* Abyss
The area of space that surrounds Miltia has been sealed by two black holes for many light years. People refer to this state with the expression "fell into the abyss." The incident that caused it to be sealed off like this was the Miltian Conflict that occurred 14 years ago.
* The Circumstances of the Conflict
A number of causes piled up and developed historically into a giant incident. The realians went on a rampage due to the "song" that was emitted from the Song of Nephilim Apparatus. A bloody tragedy unfolded around the Serious Nervous Disorder Hospital where the Song Production Apparatus was established. Furthermore, Jr. closed his heart out of fear of U-DO's running out of control and cut the mental link with the other U.R.T.V.s. Because of this the channel that connected the U.R.T.V.s together was opened and left defenseless and due to that they became able to be tainted by U-DO. The rampages of the realians and the U.R.T.V.s turned old Miltia into a battleground. The Galaxy Federation sent in the army to begin the subjugation of the realians and U.R.T.V.s.
The person who was commanding the Galaxy Federation Army is the person who has currently seized the real power in the Second Miltian government, Helmer. He rescued Jr. and Gaignun who had been seriously injured in the Conflict and after that he was also the person who entrusted the Kukai Foundation to Jr. and Gaignun. At the end of the Conflict, the Original Zohar went out of control. The Miltian area of space sunk into the abyss. The Miltian Conflict was a huge incident in history that many people were dragged into as a result of the rampages of three things: The Song of Nephilim, U-DO and the Original Zohar.
* Escapees
Before it sank into the abyss, the people living on old Miltia scrambled to escape. Only the people who decided to stay no matter what resolved to stay on old Miltia. The people who stayed behind all fell into the abyss and disappeared. Those who escaped were transferred to Second Miltia and fostered a culture there with it as a new hometown.

The Clause About The Connection
Jr and MOMO
She fell in love to him
* The power of outward appearances
Jr is performing growth suppression by means of his own URTV ability, and so he maintains a 12-year-old body. However, his inner self is something on the order of 26-years-old. This is guessed because 14 years ago, the other URTVs each had bodies that were roughly 12-years-old, and so the assumption is that the URTVS' year of manufacture was 26 years ago. Momo was produced 14 years ago, but because she is a Realian that does not age, she has an outward appearance that is roughly 12-years-old.
They are both existences where age cannot be guessed from their outward appearances. However, the influence that outward appearance gives to others is great. Long ago, a subject of study existed, called "physiognomy". It is the study that tries to comprehend the inner-person based on facial features. Nowadays, this is said to not have an objective basis, but it does not change the fact that the human heart reacts according to the image. There is data that states when a person speaks to a baby, their voice raises 1~2 octaves. This is a phenomenon that is generated from the cooperation of two primary factors: that a baby's face arouses a desire to protect in the person who sees it, and that a baby prefers a higher tone.
People like Jr and Momo, who possess bodies that are very young, therefore give to those around them a sense of helplessness. If action is not taken to overturn it, they prolong that impression. Conversely, if they succeed in behavior that overturns it, because it is such an extreme reversal of the image, their actions can leave an even stronger impression.
* The sense of being the same generation from outward appearances
That Jr harbors a desire to protect Momo, and that Momo harbors a sense of being the same generation towards Jr, are both impressions due to outward appearance. On the exterior, it is seen as a man-woman relationship of a same generation, but the true nature is vastly different.
{iffy}: Based on that such reality, it is considered to be the reason that Jr is concerned about Momo, and the reason that Albedo gets enraged towards being able to touch Momo, and that is also considered why the reason, which is not just a mere personal thought, is being kept hidden.
It is the Miltian conflict of 14 years ago in the past that greatly influenced Jr's current behavior. Jr's attitude towards Momo is considered to be deeply connected to this past as well. But the details are unknown.
